Modifying A Report Model Without Rewrite ALL The Ad-hocs Reports Developed By Users...it Is Possible?
Mar 13, 2007
Community:
Suposse that some models are deployed in Report Server for a while, and users have developed some ad-hoc reports on them using Report Builder, (some of the models are SSAS Cubes).
Modifications are required for a Model, what is the procedure to deploy this modifications? What happens with ad-hoc reports of this Model? Rewrite all the reports is a VERY BAD option, I agree that some reports must be rewrote, but only if they reference objects no longer valids in new model.
I suposse that the procedure for SSAS Cube Models will be different for a Relational Database Source because metods of generating models are so different. (I am particularly curious about Cubes, I can't figure out how I can do it)
Suggestions and links will be very appreciate.
Regards

Hi All
I have created reports in 'Projects'. What I would like to know is that if can transfer these reports into a report model?
As per my knowledge, a report model contains datasources, datasource views, report models itself and doesn't allow to transfer reports. Please , let me know if my understanding is correct?
Cheers
Preps.

I have a MSSQL Report Services Report Model set up to allow users to create their own ad hoc reports. The data source for my model is a Named Query that queries a MS SQL view that actually pulls data from a series of tables & other views. When you create a report from this model and attempt to filter the data some of the fileds will provide you with a pick list to select which values you would like to filter on and other fields do not provide you with a pick list but require you to enter the data directly that you wish to filter on. Most of the data fields that I am trying to filter on are varchar fields and like I said some will create a pick list for you to selet from and others will not. This all seemed to start after I changed my data source to a Named Query rather than having my data source as the MS SQL View directly. I did this becuase it seemed that anytime I had to make a change to the views that the data source pulled from it would mess up any existing reports that had been created and this does not happen if I use a named query. I have gone crazy trying to figure this one out so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

All,
I would like a report to display the number of users and the reports accessed for a certain duration of time[being able to go back and check for previous years as well].
I read on the msdn that 60 days worth of report log is kept,and the rest gets wipped off.Any suggestions on how I would be able to get user access list for the past year as well.

Hello - I am having difficulty enabling the automatic click-through functionality for my model. I have two entities - Customer & Incident. Incident is a role/FK/OptionalMany relationship to customer.
I've read through earlier postings on this subject (below) and have verified that the #Incidents attribute in my incident entity has the EnableDrillThrough=true.
My test report is simple - Customer Name (from customer) and #Incidents (from incident). When I run it, the click-through option is not available (the cursor stays as an arrow and doesn't change to a finger).
Are there other properties or settings that I need to be working with? I have SP2 (9.0.3042) installed on our Standard edition of SQL 2005. I know Infinite Click-Through is not in Std edition, but a few levels should be, correct?
Thanks in Advance,
Toni

So the AttributeIDs used in a Report Model..they look and smell like a GUID..but they are rather finicky. For one, they need to start with a "G".
Anyway, say I want to create my own GUIDs for these models..seems I can do so in limited fashion by creating a GUID, replacing the first char with a G. Of course, change all references to that particular item n the model.. Redploy the model and it works! I can create new reports all day long.
But something strange happens behind the scenes..somewhere. So you can no longer use the wizard to update your model...even after changing the GUID references back to the original ones the model builder chose for you. I did a WinDiff on the before and after and saw absolutely no difference in the files..Something stored on the server maybe and not shows in Visual Studio.
Long story short...is there anyway I can construct or edit models with my own GUIDS or is there a super secret algorithm that I must adhere to? I dont want to simply use the .GenerateModel method...I really need to use my own GUIDs..but it appears I am missing some piece to make this work perfectly.

After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I want to modify the layout and stuff of the main reporting page...but I'm not sure how to open it ... is there a project for it that gets installed on the server?
I've seen some video demos on the microsoft site and they had some pretty nice front ends set up. I'd like to put some actual metrics on that front page and set up some links and different layouts.
Can someone please at least point me in the right direction to do this? I'm hoping it doesn't require setting up an entirely new site from scratch.
Thanks,

Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for your help.

We run std 2008 r2. My report's 2nd tablix is sourced relationally. It has a row grouping on distributor name and a column grouping on manufacturer name. There are about 9 statistics (some additive, some avgs) that can show for each manufacturer as they relate to a (this) distributor.
A distributor can have parent and child companies. My user wants the distributor to have expand collapse capabilities in its parent child hierarchy, presumably defaulting to just top parent on open.
My first 4 questions are:
1) do I need to switch to olap?
2) if not, what needs to change in my dataset, just an additional parent name?
3) assuming it wont break the whole report, what setting(s) do I change in the tablix/grouping to make this happen?
4) when my user saves to excel, will expand/collapse functionality carry over? I'm assuming it cannot in pdf and word.

I need to create RDF files dynamically. As one example, I need to output a report that contains an OLAP table from an MDX query and will need to generate the RDL that represents the table on the fly. (Binding to a data source with any built-in control will not even come close to solving the problem. The actual requirements are extremely complex.)
In short... Rather than outputting the RDL XML the hard way is there an object model I can use to construct an RDL document with? Even if it's a bindhind-the-scenese, not-supported library?
Thanks,
Terry

I am working on the security model for an application that will be used by 100s of users with a dedicated SQL 2005 database for this application and access via SQL XML Web Services.
The client has asked to make it "open" during alpha testing such that anyone can access the web services without having to set them up first. Is there a way to do this? The best I can figure is to use mixed mode security and hard code a login and password. Any method using Windows authentication would require that I add every user at a minimum to the database.
In production, all users will have an active directory role specified that determines if they should have access to the web services or not. However, it is my understanding that to use Windows authentication, I would still need to add each individual user at a minimum as a Login to the SQL Server, and under best practices also as database users with permissions granted to the endpoint.
Am I correct in the above, or is there a more efficient way to achieve these results?
Thanks

Hello colleagues,
I am trying to create some reports in VS.NET for our Microsoft CRM3.0.
I am using a SQL query like this:
SELECT CRMAF_Account.Name, CRMAF_Account.primarycontactidName, CRMAF_Account.address1_line1, CRMAF_Account.address1_line2, CRMAF_Account.address1_city, ActivityPointer.scheduledstart, ActivityPointer.subject, ActivityPointer.description
FROM ActivityPointer, FilteredAccount CRMAF_Account INNER JOIN FilteredSystemUser FSU ON CRMAF_Account.ownerid = FSU.systemuserid
WHERE ActivityPointer.regardingobjectid = CRMAF_Account.accountID AND FSU.Domainname = SYSTEM_USER
ORDER BY Datum DESC
When I run this query, I get the desired result (I am the database dbo), but when any user tries doing the same, they get an error
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Get Online Help
Query execution failed for data set '[DatabaseName]'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Get Online Help
SELECT permission denied on object 'ActivityPointer', database '[DatabaseName]', owner 'dbo'.
I desperately need to know which user rights are missing and where are they missing - I do not suppose that the rights are expected to be assigned directly to the database tables
Any quick help would be highly appreciated. I would also appreciate any articles with examples how to use parameters, filters and subreports.
Thank you very much.
Marek Hlavac.

Originally posted this in the performance point forum, the error actually occurs if link direct to the reporting web site as well. The reports are being created in the report builder, from the web service.
-----
Attempting to add a report services report into a performance point dashboard page. Everything is installed on one box.
When the admin logins load the page, everything works great.
When a non-admin loads the page, everything except the report generates, and the following error kicks off:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
Login failed for user '####'
The user login in question has been given browse access to everything in the report services web. I'm not sure where or how to grant whatever access is necessary for this to work properly.. and really I was hoping that any authenticated user at the dashboard level would be able to view the report so I didn't have to do security twice.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've created a linked server with a pretty basic Excel spreadsheet, and used this command to create a linked server to it:
sp_addlinkedserver ''XL_SPS_1', 'Excel', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls', null, 'Excel 8.0'
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel
as
select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
Thanks,
--Stan

Hey guys, I need a little help for my group project(Using ASP.NET 2 connected to SQL Server 2005). Here's the scenario:
Our system is basically a sort of login/logout system, so we have a table that has (Name, Date, Subject, TimeIn, TimeOut).
1. User registers on website, so information like e-mail is recorded into the database (and the user in the website is "linked/checked" to his data in the SQL Server for verification).
2. Users can choose to subscribe to a weekly report e-mail(maybe using a simple "IsSubscribed" boolean value in the database).
3. Every week, our system scans the database for those users who subscribed, then send different e-mail reports depending on the particular user (a compiled weekly report for Mon-Fri).
Is there such a feature in Database Mail? If not, how do I execute these types queries and just set them as a Scheduled Task?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
We have a small .NET intranet site and I have some experience with Reporting Services. What I am looking to do is develop some reports on our website. However, I would like to make it so the user can do some customization of their reports.
For example, there would be sections of reports (Headcounts, Turnover, etc.) and in each section there would be measurements they could click to include. So I could select the Headcounts section and select the measurements such as Terminations, Hires, and Period End Headcount. I may not select the Turnover sections at all. I am almost thinking like a Google page where you can move around the sections and have your own customized report. Maybe these sections could work as Web Parts, or something like that.
Does any of this make sense? Is it possible? Are there are websites or examples that are out there that I could get an idea to see if this has been done and how to do it?
Thank you.

An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors

- I assume the preceding error has something to do with credentials. I am using Windows security authentication for this. One user has worked through this and is now getting cannot run report query (one of the report queries in the report). Help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have created and deployed a data source (which uses "Credentials supplied by the user running the report") and a model which uses this data source.
Also I have built a report using Report Builder and all works well.
Now I wish to use Visual Studio to build a report, so I'm trying to create a data source from my computer which the report should use and I want it to use the model on the remote server. In the Report Wizard I am using "Report Server Model" and the following connection string:
Server="http://<remoteserver>/reportserver";datasource="/Models/MyModel"
IHowever I can't make the credentials to work. I've tried them all with no luck. What username/password must I use? Because so far nothing of what I have tried works.
Any help is highly appretiated.
Kind Regards,
Robert

Hi,
I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill.
Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl.
Questions:
1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields?
2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl?
Thanks,

Ideally, I'd like to have the reports use windows authentication, ie grab current user/password so long as user does not have to enter it manually. If that is not possible, then how do I make it so user does not have to enter this info manually? My theory is that I have IIS set up incorrectly for doing this, but I'm not familiar enough with either reporting services or IIS to find out.

Situation: If possible, create one stored procedure for Crystal Reports(CR). For any CR users ou
there, looking for coding suggestion also. Thank you for your assistance.
Currently, CR has a header(Report Header) coming from 1 to 1 tables, there is a parameter
which is passed in, allowing it to retrieve one record for the header(report header or RH).
The CR then has 4 subreports in which each has its own stored procedure. This I believe happens
because the Report Header records relationship to the subreport is 1 to many. The 3 remaining
subreports relationship to the Report Header is also a 1 to many. The main problem is the
subreports is that there may or may not have any records based on this, the subreport is
suppressed within CR and thus there can be alot of unused white space on the 1st page and one
of the subreports prints on a 2nd page when it could have been on the 1st page.
Example:
Main Stored Procedure(sp)
RH Tables: aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd are 1 to 1 record tables and have a @xyz parameter.
Results of subreports and their associated procedure are varchar(8000) decriptions. Each line
should be counted in some manner in the stored procedure(sp) and then should be counted in CR
to avoid excess white space. To complicate matters subreport 2 to has font, bold, showbox but
can have different font sizes. These variations could cause different line space requirements.
Any ideas?
Each line should be counted in some manner in the stored procedure and then should be counted
in CR. There is a count of records for each the main stored procedure.
RH has 1 record to many records in subreport 1 with same @xyz parameter.
RH has 1 record to many records in subreport 2 with same @xyz parameter.
RH has 1 record to many records in subreport 3 with same @xyz parameter.
RH has 1 record to many reords in subreport 4 with same @xyz parameter.
Because of the relationships, its seems impossible to create one stored procedure which give
in one select statement with all the 1 to 1, 1 to many relationsips, as stated above. I thought
concatinating i.e. 3 records together and then parsing it out some how in CR, along with
utilizing the i.e. 3 record count to help count lines. Thought of some how creating a temporary
table matrix for 8pt - 28pt for line and spacing considerations.

Is it possible to dynamically refresh the report model of the report builder?
could it even be using code with any of the interfaces?
When we add a table or add a column to the table in database , will the report model get refreshed automatically or do we need to do it externally. If so, can we use any of the objects and write a custom code in VB.

I have a report model that I am trying to deploy using report manager web service. A folder is created by the administrator to place all my SSRS reports. I deployed .rdl files using the "Upload file" function in "Report Manager". All the SSRS reports work fine but when I tried to upload .smdl file (report model file) using the Report Manager's "Upload file" function it gave me the following error message.
The permissions granted to user 'xxxxxxman' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Does this mean I only have permission to upload .rdl file but NOT .smdl file to my designated folder?

I'm having some difficulty linking a custome drilldown or clickthroug report to another report that I have already created in report builder. I followed a MSDN article found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345226.aspx but I cannot find the " Select a page area, select Drill-through reports" option in report manager. Does anyone have a better explanation on how to do this? I'm assuming that when you create the clickthrough report there has to some sore of filter on it that relates to the item of the clickthrough. I guess I'm I little confused, any help would be great. Thanks.
